At the end of September, the former General of the Cavalry and the Grand Marshal Sima Yi quietly returned to the capital.

Originally, many ministers were preparing to go out of the city to greet him, but Sima Yi was very low-key and did not inform anyone of the arrival time. He quietly entered the city. Then he sent Sima Zhao to inform several friends and apologized.

On the night when they returned to the mansion, the Taiwei's mansion was deserted. Sima Yi, Sima Master, son and wife held a simple family banquet. No one except Sima Fu and his wife. After the banquet, Zhang Chunhua accompanied Sima Fu's wife to speak. Sima Yi and the other four came to the study room and sat around the desk. No one spoke for a while.

In the end, Sima Fu opened his mouth and broke the silence. "It is also a good thing for brother to return to Beijing. He heard that Sun Quan intends to proclaim himself emperor, and the court will inevitably use troops to Jiangdong again. In terms of the current situation, even if the emperor personally fights, it is still useless to work hard, so it is better to watch the wall."

Sima Yi nodded silently and shook his head again. "Shuda, you underestimate Your Majesty."

Sima Fu looked at Sima Yi in confusion. "Brother, what do you mean..."

"As the Minister of the Duzhi, you are familiar with the cost of money and grain. You should know that after Cao Xiu's defeat, the great loss is obvious to all. Even if you don't check the documents in the Shangshu Province, you can know it. At this time, Your Majesty is unlikely to personally expel his anger."

Sima Fu thought about it and felt it was reasonable. "Then just watch Sun Quan betrayal and independent?"

"Of course, this won't be." Sima Yi stroked his beard. "I think it may be the best choice for your majesty to do it."

"Too for tooth?" Sima Shi interrupted, "Send people in the Jiangdong side to lure the generals of Wu to avenge Zhou Feng's revenge for his revenge on Cao Xiu?"

Sima Yi nodded. "This should be a better way than personally expedition. Cao Xiu's 100,000 army was defeated, and there were many surrendered generals. If people were sent to Jiangdong to contact these surrendered generals, they would make a contribution to their crimes and make some noise. No matter how big the movement was, as long as they could save some face. If they could persuade one or two Wu generals to surrender, it would be better. There were many conflicts within Jiangdong, and the conflict between the generals from Jianghuai and the local tribes in Jiangdong was intensified, and some could take advantage of the opportunity. I heard that Zhou Yu's second son, Zhou Yin, who was stationed in the public security, was incompatible with Lu Xun."

Sima Fu thought for a while. "Is this the news that the school officials found out, or the news that the traitor under his brother was found out?"

Sima Yi glanced at Sima Fu and looked slightly. The third brother was the most experienced and suddenly heard the key points. "The school officials are very active. In order to make contributions, they will go deep into the south of the Yangtze River. This is the news they found out. As for the facts and facts, it is difficult to judge."

Sima Fu smiled and showed a hint of disdain. Since that's the case, let the emperor go and see what the result he can end up with.

Sima Yi turned to look at Sima Shi. "Ziyuan, I heard that you are not in harmony with Yuanrong? This is not a good time to make one's character."

Sima Shi was a little embarrassed, but he bowed and bowed. "Aweng, this matter is a long story..."

"Say. Your third uncle is not an outsider, so what's there to avoid suspicion?"

"Here." Sima Shi bowed again. "This matter starts with Cao Miao's tantrum."

"Cao Miao?" Sima Yi stroked his beard and frowned. "Why is it him again?"

Sima Shi didn't know how to talk about it for a moment. He met Cao Miao several times, but none of them were happy. Even he himself couldn't tell where the hatred came from and why it was so troubled.

"My brother is not in the capital, I don't know that this son is used to pretending to be crazy and act recklessly. Wang Tai's death has no evidence. Let's not talk about it for now, but it was not long ago to chase Wang Ji. It would be fine if you kill someone, but you should bury him alive..." Sima Fu shook his head and smiled bitterly: "It's a beast's behavior, and it's not something that people can do."

Sima Yi looked at Sima Fu in surprise. "Shuda, come on in detail."

Sima Fu roughly told what he knew. Although not many people have seen Cao Miao in the palace so far, Cao Miao's story has spread in the palace. Many people call Cao Miao the prince of the middle finger and regard him as a joke, but Sima Fu doesn't think so.

He felt that those people were confused by Cao Miao's madness and forgot that the emperor's recent series of actions were related to Cao Miao. Gao Xun was bitten off his finger, Cang Ji, Zhong Tai was arrested, Wang Ji was killed, the ministers of the clan were frustrated, Xiahou Xuan served as a Diannong in Luoyang, and the clan took over the defense of the capital. These are all major events that affected the direction of the government. From the root, they can all be attributed to Cao Miao.

In other words, when looking at one thing, Cao Miao is making a fuss. But when we look at it together, it is Cao Miao who intentionally or unintentionally influenced the general trend of the court.

After hearing Sima Fu's words, Sima Shi Ru woke up in his dream. He was not familiar with the situation in the palace and could not understand why Cao Miao was targeting him. Now, under the situation in the entire court, he suddenly understood.

Cao Miao was not targeting them, but the ministers of foreign surnames in the court, especially those with military power. The reason why they were selected was because Sima Yi was the representative of the ministers of foreign surnames in charge.

Sima Shi immediately told the story of his meeting with Cao Miao several times, and finally added one thing: Cao Miao advocated pragmatism and was very disgusted with the habit of flashyness. Deng Yang was also humiliated by Cao Miao. After Xiahou Xuan was released, his contacts with the circle of famous scholars were almost cut off. Instead, he ran and exercised every day in the Dian Nongguan. He seemed to want to inherit his father's will and take it as his responsibility to command troops and fight.

Sima Yi thought for a long time and smiled slightly. "Young people have such responsibility and courage, but their methods are a little immature. Ziyuan, Zishang, you should learn from their strengths and lose their weaknesses to make progress."

Sima Shi and Sima Zhao bowed and bowed to him. "Please give me advice."

Sima Yi picked up the water cup and took a sip of tea. "The late emperor competed for succession with King Yongqiu, and the late emperor won the final victory. It seems that the support of the aristocratic family is of great importance, but in fact, this was the forced choice of Emperor Wu. It is said that governing chaos and governing peace and morality are preferred, but if there were no support from the aristocratic family talents headed by Ruying, Emperor Wu would have the opportunity to compete in the Central Plains."

"Now the Great Wei Dingji needs the support of talents. Although poor families can produce talents, how can the talents of poor families be compared with those of aristocratic families? His Majesty wants to govern the country and pacify the world, he cannot do without the support of aristocratic families. The reason why he belittled the aristocratic families was just an overcorrection of Emperor Wen, and it would never be possible to kill all the aristocratic families."

Sima Yi looked around and raised his lips slightly. "Besides, for four hundred years, the people who fought for victory in the court were foreign relatives, eunuchs, court officials, and He Tang had the figure of royal family? Liu Ziyang (Liu Ye) once said that Your Majesty was the Qin Emperor and Han Wu. Qin Emperor and Han Wu treated the royal family in this way, you should be very clear."

Sima Fu nodded in agreement. Sima Shi and Sima Zhao looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

Sima Zhao said: "Father, then, how should we deal with it next?"

Sima Yi stroked his beard and gently spit out a word. "Wait."
